Can I have an expiration date on gift cards?

Hey @Zuzana great question! At this time, there is no expiration date for gift cards and the balance will remain active for as long as the account is still active. If you need to clear the balance on a gift card for any reason, you can do so from your online Square Dashboard but please check your state laws around gift cards and make sure you are in compliance with their expiration laws, if they have any, as some states require a certain amount of time before a Gift Card is considered expired.

Hey! I merged your post with an existing thread that answers your question. At this time we do not have the ability to create an expiration for gift cards. 

Let me know if you have any other questions. 🙂

I'd like an expiration on my egift cards... Otherwise clients come in 1 year+ and want to use it, and I just don't think that's fair to the business owner. I've had some people come in 2-3 years past expiration with my previous gift certificate option.

Thank you

You need to check with your state, but here and most states.......gift and ecards have no expiration date attached to them.......that's the law........if you sell at a discounted rate......lets say a 100 card for 75 you can than put an expiration date on it. but after that date you must still honor it for the amount the customer paid for it........hope this info helps

HI there - is there an update to this? In Australia we must have an expiry date - a min of 3 years.
